The Issue Increasing tuition and fees No longer job guarantee Student debt outpacing credit-card debt

The Challenge Florida Gov. Scott challenges state colleges to create bachelor’s degree programs that cost no more than $10,000.

Critics claim a BA 10K model, by definition, has reduced quality Lower faculty costs Online classes Reduced instructional time Academic support services eliminated

The critics are wrong

All 28 Florida colleges respond. Broward College announces the BC 10K Model for 2013

Broward College 11 locations in Broward County, Florida Opened in ,000 students $1 billion annual economic impact 113,000+ alumni International programs, locations and partnerships

This new model — the BC 10K — will roll out to dealers this fall and feature many standard features found on higher priced models: Dual enrollment Fourth year scholarship $2,500 each year with scholarships Take 15 credits, pay for 12 Prior learning credit Targeted HS/HW Cohort based

This new model will require the leasee to agree to the following terms: maintain fulltime enrollment maintain continuous enrollment cover cost for repeated or non-program classes use financial aid first demonstrate Florida residency enter program with 3.0 GPA

If terms and conditions are met, the student (leasee) will pay no more than $2,500 a year for each of the four years leading to a bachelor's degree. However, at the end of this four-year lease program, there is no buyout necessary and the student owns the degree outright.

10K Model It provides owners (graduates) with degrees that match up with the driving experience (job opportunities) of today.

Does cost dictate educational quality? The answer is “No”.
